Summary:

The comic strip features Dogbert, the consultant, sitting at a desk with a client. Dogbert advises the client to evaluate corporate health by examining employee turnover rates. The client agrees, but notes that the company's turnover rate is very low, which may be due to hiring people who are not skilled enough to work anywhere else.
